== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Group II introns are large self-splicing ribozymes that require high amounts of monovalent and divalent metal ions for folding and catalysis under in vitro conditions. Domain 6 of these ribozymes contains a highly conserved adenosine whose 2'-OH acts as a nucleophile during self-cleavage via the branching pathway. We have previously suggested a divalent metal ion that binds to the major groove at the GU wobble pair above the branch-A in a minimal, but active branch domain construct (D6-27) from the yeast mitochondrial intron Sc.ai5gamma. Here we characterize metal ion binding to the phosphate oxygens at the branch site. In vitro transcription yielded a D6-27 construct where all R P oxygens of the uridine phosphate groups are replaced by sulfur (alpha-thio-D6-27). We determined its NMR structure, the second RNA-only structure containing thiophosphate groups. [(31)P] resonances were assigned and chemical shift changes monitored upon titration with Cd(2+). In addition, the two uridines flanking the branch-point, U19 and U21 were specifically thioated by chemical synthesis (thio-U19-D6-27 and thio-U19/U21-D6-27), enabling us to study Cd(2+) binding at the R P-, as well as the S P- position of the corresponding phosphate oxygens. Our studies reveal that both non-bridging phosphate oxygens of U19 are involved in metal ion coordination, whereas only the major groove phosphate oxygen of U21 is influenced. Together with NOE data of a hexaamminecobalt(III) titration, this suggests a single metal ion binding site at the GU wobble pair above the branch point in the major groove of D6 of this group II intron ribozyme. | |||
